The very cheerful young ladies who helped wrap up all that pink loveliness for me!

Happy just a few days until

Christmas!

Today I thought I'd just bring you a quick post

about the place where I found all that lovely

pink transferware ironstone china the other day...

Frisco Mercantile

8980 Preston Rd.

Frisco, Texas 75034

972-712-7300

Located about an hour north of Dallas, Texas, Frisco Mercantile is an nice venue with over 200 antiques shops inside this huge location carrying so many beautiful wares to buy including Christmas and holiday items as well as painted and stained furniture and gorgeous tinkling chandeliers! {my favorite!}

I wasn't looking for anything that day

least of all to go shopping

as I'd come down just to check out the area

but...

It's hard to pass up a new antiques store

to go browsing around in ~ so I did!

And, that's where I found my new-to-me

pink transferware.

:)

Frisco Mercantilereminds me of several

antiques emporiums

I've visited back in California such as

Vignettes

down in Ocean Beach near San Diego

and

Second Impressions

in Mitchell, South Dakota.

With shop owners carefully curated items for sale

I'm going to have to put blinders on next time as it would

have been really easy to spend a small fortune

here!

And I know that those chandeliers were talking to me...

;)

Usually I look for small items like silver spoons

or vintage linens and really I was only

looking for candelabras.

Happily I found the one I used in the story about the

Pink transferware

but then I looked up from studying it...

That's when I saw the transferware pieces tucked into

this white hutch just waiting for me to notice them!

;)

I love this candelabras graceful lines and curves!

It is a lovely complement to the delicate looking pink china,

don't you think?

It's a pretty piece and matches a small chandelier

that used to hang in my craftroom back in the Big House.

I'll have to take a close up photo of this little

tabletop candelabra

so you can see the delicate petals of each leaf

which surrounds each candle holder.

Really pretty!

Loved the entrance all decorated for the holidays here at Frisco Mercantile!
